Amy Grant

Songwriter: Michael W. Smith Amy Grant

At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone
A heart, running for arms out of reach
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I don't know
But it scares me through and through
'Cause I've a man at home
Who needs me to be true

Oh, faithless heart
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That no one else can see
Oh, faithless heart
You tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore

(The feelings here, God, the feelings here.)

God, you know my feelings here
Could wipe my world away
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made
So hold me, I'm falling so fast
And tell me that the fighting inside will pass
As I walk away
And find the strength to choose
The man who waits for me
With a heart that's true

Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That only I can see
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
You tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore

Faithless heart!

Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That nobody else can see
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
You tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore

Well, you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
